Study: Consumers Don't Trust Businesses With Their Data

According to a recent survey, 69 percent of American consumers think having their data stolen is inevitable.

Online security is one of those issues that feels like it will never truly be resolved. As hackers get more sophisticated, so must security systems and methodology. As new hurdles to secure systems arise, is it the case that our systems are getting more vulnerable? A study from Wakefield Research, commissioned by Citrix, indicates that Americans certainly think they are.

Initial responses were pretty dire: 69 percent of Americans surveyed agreed that their personal data would inevitably be stolen, and 84 percent believed their data is even less secure this year than it was last year.

While hackers are becoming more sophisticated, personal security hygiene is still a serious problem.
